Campaign Management
A politician is trying to win election to the city council, and as his campaign manager, you need to decide how to promote the candidate. There are three ways you can do so: You can send glossy, full-color pamphlets to registered voters of the city; you can run a commercial during the television news on a local cable network; and/or you can buy a full page ad in the newspaper.
Two hundred fifty thousand voters live in the city, and
You also know that the television commercial would cost
Suppose that the success of the candidate depends on your campaign reaching at least
If you need help devising a method of solution for this problem, try answering the following questions first.
How many voters in the city read the newspaper but do not watch the local cable television news?

- Choosing Officers From a pool of 12 candidates, the offices of president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer need to be filled. In how many different ways can the offices be filled?arrow_forwardA florist offers three sizes of flower arrangements containing roses, daisies, and chrysanthemums. Each small arrangement contains one rose, three daisies, and three chrysanthemums. Each medium arrangement contains two roses, four daisies, and six chrysanthemums. Each large arrangement contains four roses, eight daisies, and six chrysanthemums. One day, the florist noted that she used a total of 24 roses, 50 daisies, and 48 chrysanthemums in filling orders for these three types of arrangements. How many arrangements of each type did she make?arrow_forwardCostume designers are fashion designers that design costumes for the performing arts and for motion picture and television productions. They research the styles worn during the period in which the performance takes place, or work with directors to select and create appropriate attire. They must stay within the costume budget for the production. An upcoming play requires 6 bunny costumes. Each costume requires 3 square yards of faux fur. Faux fur costs $9.50 per square yard and the costume budget for the bunny costumes is $200. What is the total cost of material for the bunny costumes? $arrow_forward
- A movie production company is releasing a movie with the hopes of many viewers returning to see the movie in the theater for a second time. Their target is to have 30 million viewers, and they want more than 30% of the viewers to return to see the movie again. They show the movie to a test audience of 200 people, and after the movie they asked them if they would see the movie in theaters again. Of the test audience, 68 people said they would see the movie again. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table) a. Specify the competing hypotheses to test if more than 30% of the viewers will return to see the movie again. multiple choice 1 H0: p = 0.30; HA: p ≠ 0.30 H0: p ≥ 0.30; HA: p < 0.30 H0: p ≤ 0.30; HA: p > 0.30 b-1.

We randomly selected five institutions from among all U.S. institutions with graduate programs. The first number for each is the minimum GPA for applicants to the psychology doctoral program, and the second is for applicants to the history doctoral program. These GPAs were posted on the website of the well-known college guide company Peterson's. Wayne State University: 3.0, 2.75 University of Iowa: 3.0, 3.0 University of Nevada-Reno: 3.0, 2.75 George Washington University: 3.0, 3.0 University of Wyoming: 3.0, 3.0 1.

She needs to register for each course. She must choose from 2 composition courses, 3 geography courses, 2 statistics courses, 5 chemistry courses, and 7 seminar courses. If no courses meet at the same time, how many different combinations of courses are possible for Isabella to choose from? Responsesarrow_forward
- During an election for city council, you hear a candidate say that 54% of children in the city live in poverty. You know that your children's school has about 1,200 students.Part A: Based on the candidate's statement, about how many children in the school live in poverty?arrow_forwardIn a cooking competition called Heaven's Kitchen, two teams compete against each other to serve a restaurant full of customers. The competitors cook dishes and send them to an executive chef, where it is either approved and sent to the customer, or is deemed unacceptable and sent back to the kitchen. The competition has run for the past 19 years. During the 9th annual Heaven's Kitchen competition, the Ruby team cooked a total of 136 dishes, of which 98 were sent back to the kitchen by the executive chef. In the same period, the competing Sapphire team cooked a total of 204 dishes and had 142 return. Construct a confidence interval to estimate the difference in the proportion of dishes sent back to the Ruby team and the proportion of dishes sent back to the Sapphire team. Use a confidence level of 94%. Round each answer to 4 decimal places. Do not round from one part to the next when performing the calculations, though. a. Find the confidence interval. < P1-P2<arrow_forward75% of the GAHS student population participate in a club. 30% of the population are in a Music program (Chorus or Band).89% of the population are in a club or in a music program.What % of the population are in a music program but NOT in a club?arrow_forward
